Stagolee
Dr. Hook

(Silverstein/Taylor)


Stagolee he's a big bad man and he's gonna do you wrong

Now they say he shot his own sweet wife 'cause she cooked his eggs too long

Then Stagolee he gave the devil his soul and the devil he gave him his hat

He said Ain't no-one can do you no harm just as long as you're wearing that


Stagolee went to the police station he told that deal that'd gone down

He gave the police a dollar a piece and an hour to get out of town

What you gonna do about Stagolee, what you gonna do about that

You know that boy won't never die just as long as he's wearing that hat


Stagolee does any damn thing he choose

If you go against him you know you've got to lose

In everybody's pocket, in every ladies bed

Long as he got that spooky old hat sittin' on top of his head


Stagolee put on his brand new hat, took his gal for a ride

Get out of the way you chippies and chumps the devil is on my side

Stagolee went to the sporting house locked it with a key

Said All you whores don't you open your doors by nobody else but me


Stagolee does any damn thing he choose

If you go against him you know you gotta lose

In everybody's pocket, in every ladies bed

With that spooky old devil's hat sittin' right up on top of his head


All the girls love Stagolee but Suzy loved him the best

She told him to lay right down and take himself some rest

Stagolee took off his big black boots, took off his long black tie

But I won't take off my big black hat 'cause I ain't about to die


Suzy snuggled up to Stagolee, lift'd the hat right off of his head

And up she come with the gattling-gun and shot that poor boy dead

Stagolee went down to the devil, devil he sat and smiled

Said Boy you went and a lost your hat now you're gonna fry awhile


Stagolee does any damn thing he choose

If you go against him you know you gotta lose

In everybody's pocket, in every ladies bed

With that spooky old devil's hat sittin' right up on the top of his head
